Merge Tags For Email

Here are the merge-tags that you can use in outgoing autoresponder and broadcast emails sent through DAP.

%%FIRST_NAME%%

This will be replaced by the first-name of the user.

%%LAST_NAME%%

This will be replaced by the first-name of the user.

%%EMAIL_ID%%

This will be replaced by the email id of the user.

%%PASSWORD%%

This will be replaced by the password of the user.

%%SITE_NAME%%

This will be replaced by whatever text you have entered in “Setup > Config > Basic > Site Name” in your DAP Dashboard.

%%ADMIN_NAME%%

This will be replaced by whatever text you have entered in “Setup > Config > Basic > Admin Name” in your DAP Dashboard.

%%ADMIN_EMAIL%%

This will be replaced by whatever text you have entered in “Setup > Config > Basic > Admin Email” in your DAP Dashboard.

%%AFF_LINK%%

This will be replaced by the actual affiliate link of the member (Eg., http://yoursite.com/dap/a/?a=1234)

%%SITE_URL_DAP%%

Replaced by your actual web site url (Eg., http://yoursite.com)

%%UNSUB_LINK%%

This is replaced by a 1-click Unsubscribe link that you can add to the bottom of your outgoing broadcast and autoresponder emails.

Using Custom Fields In DAP Emails

You can send custom field values in the DAP emails by using merge tags like this – %%custom_tax_id%%

Add ‘custom_’ in front of the custom field’s database field name.

So if you have defined a custom field called tax_id in your database, to include this field in the autoresponder/broadcast email, just add this – %%custom_tax_id%% to the body of your email.

That’s it. When the user receives the email, dap will automatically replace the merge tag with the user’s tax id value.

So if your email message body contains the following text:

Your Tax Id: %%custom_tax_id%%

When the user receives the message, it will look like this (in this example, the user’s taxId = 9999):

Your Tax Id: 9999

It would be awesome if you could include the product login link as a merge tag. Not an emergency, of course…I’ve happily added them myself thus far…but it would be nice : ).

Ben - March 8, 2013

Any plans to make the %%DAPCUSTOMFIELD_%% tag available for use in emails?

Thanks

Ben

Veena Prashanth - March 23, 2013

Ben,

It’s already supported.

Pls see this for details:

Hi! I would like to ask if I could do some changes on the merge tags. Example %%site_dap_url%%, I would like to change my website url. Where will I go? Thank you very much!

Veena Prashanth - August 26, 2013

Hi Kristina,

Please ftp to yoursite and edit /dap/dap-config.php. You will find SITE_URL_DAP in that file.

Thanks,
Veena

Is there a Merge Tag for username?

Veena Prashanth - August 17, 2014

>>Is there a Merge Tag for username? << Yes, you can use %%USER_NAME%% Thanks, Veena

John Franco - November 7, 2014

Hi Veena, the tag %%USER_NAME%% is not working for me. Any suggestion?

John Franco - November 7, 2014

I am trying to use it as an email tag. It seems that this is a post tag. Please help

Veena Prashanth - November 7, 2014

Hi John,

>>Hi Veena, the tag %%USER_NAME%% is not working for me. Any suggestion?<< You might be using an old version of DAP. Please open a support ticket with us and we will take a look. Thanks, Veena

John Franco - November 7, 2014

Thanks Veena. I just bought DAP and installed the latest version 4.7. Will open the ticket so you give a closer look

Heather Claus - January 12, 2015

I’m curious about a merge tag for a specific email signature file.

For example, I usually have a short promo message in my signature files. If I include that in every DAP email that goes out, when it changes, I have a lot of editing to do.

Is there something like an %%EMAIL_SIG%% ?

Thanks!

Veena Prashanth - January 12, 2015

>>Is there something like an %%EMAIL_SIG%% ? << Sorry, no such tag available in DAP currently. -Veena

Veena Prashanth - January 12, 2015

Heather,

Actually you could add your signature in the DAP Admin -> Setup > Templates > Email:Footer. Sorry, i forget about it when I responded earlier.

Thanks,
Veena

Is there a merge tag for Product Name and/or Product Description that I can include in my Welcome email?

Ravi Jayagopal - February 23, 2015

Jimmy,

You can simply type the product name into the welcome email – you don’t need a merge tag for that. The welcome email is fully customizable – you can type whatever you want there.

Merge tags are really only meant for a situation when you don’t know ahead of time what the data is going to be – like the email recipient’s email id or password, for eg. But that’s not the case in a welcome email, where you have full control over what goes into it, and you also know which product you are setting it up for ahead of time.

Hope this makes sense.

Jerry - August 28, 2015

Hi,

Is there a merge tag that I can use when I email affiliates to notify them for the credits they earned? I noticed that there is a merge tag %%AMOUNT_EARNED%% for the cash earned. How about for the credits they earned?

Thank you.

Veena Prashanth - August 28, 2015

Hi Jerry,

No merge tag for this.

Please see this document on the CS shortcodes that you can use on a WP page :
http://digitalaccesspass.com/doc/credit-store-shortcodes/

Thanks,
Veena

David - March 6, 2016

The DAP site setup help for “Login URL” mentions “%%LOGIN_FORM%%” as an available merge tag; but the above documentation; and the tag field list when in Product Notifications does not show this.

Is it an available tag? Which documentation is correct?

Please clarify.

I really want the notification email to show the login page, not just the site.

Veena Prashanth - March 6, 2016

This merge tag will allow you to create a login page but it’s not something you can directly send in an email.

Create a page called Login and use this merge tag on that page. When your users visit this page, they will find the login form there.

In the notification email, you can send the full URL of your login page (for ex – http://YOURSITE.com/login).

You can customize the welcome/notification email in DAP admin -> products page -> notifications tab and you can use the full URL of your login page in that email:

For ex:
Login URL: http://YOURSITE.com/login
Email: …
Password: …

Thanks,
Veena
